** UPDATE!!** I got it tagged and insured today, the guy I got ot from obviously doesn't know how to drive a duplex, this thing will run about 70-75, haven't had a chance to let her wind out in overdrive yet, but she does better than 60 in 8th! What a nice tight driving old bulldog she is too! :) I just acquired this 1958 Mack B67T, I have been wanting an old B model for about 30 years, and while the B67 is NOT my first choice, I couldn't be happier, she has VERY LITTLE rust, and runs great, has a duplex, still haven't found the tranny numbers, but it has 5th gear towards the dash, and the shift pattern shows it as being towards the back of the cab like and it is labeled as a direct, according to the previous owner, top gear has been turned around, but says that it only runs 55 MPH, so a differential swap will be in order, has an END673, and a 36" Freightliner sleeper, and the cool part is, it's titled as a motorhome!! I'm loving it!

This very truck was in Rome, Georgia and owned at the time by Anthony Fox of Anthony Fox Trucking. I live probably a couple of hours away from there and always wanted to see the "Convoy" truck......but, sadly, I never did. Another truck I still want to see in person is Paul Sagehorn's actual "BJ & The Bear" K-100 Kenworth Aerodyne. But, until that truck makes a visit or gets close to Murphy, North Carolina.....that won't happen, either.
The reasons why I'm so disappointed at not getting to see these two iconic trucks from my childhood is because I've been disabled since birth with mild Cerebral Palsy & Hydrocephalus and I can't travel very far.
Maybe someday, Lord willing, I will get to see (and, hopefully, sit in the driver's seats) of the original "Convoy" Mack and the last surviving truck from the 1979-1981 television show, "BJ & The Bear."
God Bless,
Tony Trout
